Campeachy Chair

A recommendation by ASewell

This is a stunning chair with quite a history...

"It took Thomas Jefferson many letters and more than ten years to get a Campeachy chair sent from New Orleans. (The first one was lost in a shipwreck.) Once he finally recieved his chair in 1819, he had several copies made. This reproduction is based on a copy crafted by plantation joiner John Hemings, which is now on display in Monticello's parlor.

Made of mahogany, it has the same X-shaped base, curvy arms and distinctive top rail. What makes the Campeachy chair so wonderfully comfortable is the sling seat of reinforced leather. The mahogany for the original chairs made in New Orleans came from the Mexican provence of Campeche, hence the curious name. 39" h x 27"w x 24" d. Made to order in the USA from imported wood.

$1,350.00

Shipping is included. (And it better be, damn!) (via monticellostore.stores.yahoo.net)
